aircraft executive, whereupon the
executive flew to Honolulu and be-
gan to talk to Naval fighter pilots
who had been fighting the Japanese.
They all wanted a plane to have
more clifnb and speed than any-
thing already In service.
When he returned, the aircraft
manufacturer called in the com-
pany’s chief engineer and told him
the story. The first production
model of the P6P came off the line
in November, 1942. and the first
squadron was completed for deliv-
ery last December. Today hundreds
are in service and hundreds more
are coming out of the company’s
plants to be flown with the United
States and British Navies.
While equipment details are still i
unavailable, It can be said that the
F6F Is powered with a big Pratt
and Whitney engine, which places
the ship In the high speed category.

my mother gave me all these good

showed me that Injustice and op-

Give A lamp A Lift
A squatty table lamp is stingy
with light. To make it taller and
so obtain a wider circle of light,
place the lamp on a small stand
two or three inches high. The
stand can be made of wood and
stained to match the tabic on which
it is used or painted to harmonize
with the lamp. Adding to the
height of a lamp often turns a
merely decorative lamp into a
useful reading lamp.

Farmers Produce
Record Crops In
Face Of Hardship
The farmers of the United States
this year cultivated more land and
are producing more livestock pro-
ducts than ever before, accord-
ing to the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics.
In the spring of 1943, farmers
planted the largest crop in his-
tory—In spite of bad weather, a
decreasing supply of farm labor,
and little hope of getting new
farm machinery.
Fanners Used Less Hired Labor
This year’s unprecedented pro-
duction has been achieved with
less hired farm labor than farmers
used in 1942, according to the
Bureau. It has made possible by
the ingenuity of the individual
farmers and their families and
through the cooperation of farmers
and representatives of county ag-
ricultural agencies.
F’armers and their families have
worked longer hours. F’armers have
.exchanged form work with their
neighbors, they have made better
use of available farm machinery,
and they have found farm workers
with the assistance of the Exten-
sion Service and through Importa-
tion of workers who were placed
locally by the county Agricultural
agents and his associates.
Factors Favoring Record Production
In a survey of 50 typical counties
throughout the United States, the
bureau found the following factors
favorable to record agricultural
production:
1. Relatively good prices for
farm products allow the farmer to
make money and Impress upon
him the Importance of his Job.
2. Determent of farm workers by
Selective Service Is evidence to
the farsier that the government
appreciates his contribution.
3. The farmer Is pleased with
the Increase In local responsibility
for' administration of the farm pro-
gram.
4. The "panic stage” of farm labor
shortages is over for the present
at least.
5. The farmer likes to produce
without the restrictions of de-
pression years.
The assignment of specific crop
and livestock quotas to each county
has been an Important factor in
this year’s farming activities, farm-
ers Indicate. Many of them volun-
teered for enlarged quotas, and
most of the others readily accepted
quotas assign them by a county
committee.
Fanners Like To See Crops Grow
Most farmers, the survey showed
take pride in growing their part
of the county’s “new potato quota”
or whatever crop it may be. They
like to learn In advance what is
expected of them and why. They
like to know what their shares
of the familiar and unfamiliar crops
are and plan accordingly.
The farmers showed by their
responses that they Hike to pro-
duce. They like to see crops grow
and mature. They get more out of
a Held of com or wheat, cabbage
or carrots, than the money the
crop sells for. They like to see
crops respond to rain and siin and
to see them withstand a drought
or a wet spell because of their
own skill in planting and culti-
vating or in choosing satisfactory
varieties. And farmers are happy
now, they said, because the govern-
ment is encouraging them to pro-
duce all the food and fiber they
can.

U. S. Navy Issues
Information To
Men Of Nation
DALLAS — Commander A R
Mack, of Dallas, Recruiting In-
spector for the Eighth Naval Dis-
trict, said plans have been com-
pleted with Commander E. D. Wal-
bridge, director of Naval Officer
Procurement, New Orleans, for the
regular dissemination of officer
procurement information to re-
cruiting stations throughout the
Eighth Naval District.
The greatly increased Interest In
applying for commissions in the
U. S. Navy Reserve, occasioned by
the prospective induction of fathers
has made it desirable that all
recruiting stations be able to ans-
wer intelligently questions regard-
ing various billets open for offi-
cer procurement, the Navy state-
ment said. The procurement offi-
ces will forward to all recruiting
stations at regular intervals changes
in procurement requirements as
they occur.
The present procurement trends
are definitely toward younger men
with technical training. In nearly
all cases a full college degree _s
required. Consideration, however
may be given to men over 30 years
of age who have had eight to
ten years of the particular type of
experience desired by the Navy, ac-
cording to Information forwarded
the recruiting stations. Men under
35 years, physically qualified lor
sea duty, and who have a college
degree may apply for appointment
as general duty officers—no spec-
ialized experience Is necessary but
a considerable degree of responsi-
ble experience in his civilian life
is required. The list forwarded to
the recruiting stations shows that
the following type of men are
needed as commissioned officers
at the present time: engineers,
mathematicians, chemists, metal-
lug kits. doctors, dentists, clergy-
men, physicists and architects with
practical experience in steel con-
struction.
The personnel of Navy Recruit-
ing Stations will not undertake to
pass on an applicant’s qualifications
but will have up to the minute In-
formation available. All interested
persons should write the nearest
Office of Naval Officer Procure-
ment for further information.
Lieutenant Commander G. W
Cook. Jr., offtcer-ln-charge of the
Office of Naval Officer Procure-
ment, 1530 Allen Building, Dallas,
said that a large number of quali-
fied men are being Inducted Into
the Army and Navy as enlisted
men when their talents In some
